Our weekend package includes 2 nights in the three interconnecting cottages, which can sleep up to 24, plus the Dovecote for the bride and groom overlooking the lake. An extra option is the 3 rooms available in the manor. If you choose a weekday the rate can be just for the day and no accommodation. Whatever you prefer we will be here to help plan for your perfect day.

Thank you so much. We had such a wonderful wedding weekend, just perfect. The cottages were ideal for our varied party and your pub more than welcoming for breakfasts and overflow guests. The marquee contractors were amazing and so was all the catering and service.

It was perfect Venue Service

By Antony Barintos, on 14 Feb 2011

I hired the whole of Upper Court's holiday cottages to bring a group of 37 friends together to celebrate my civil partnership. It was perfect: a classic Cotswolds stone manor with various out-buildings, lake, swans and a beautiful church next the estate. Everyone felt at home, everyone was able to be together and relax. Thanks Diane and Bill, we won't ever forget our time at Upper Court. March 2010

Perfect Location Venue Service

I got married at Upper Court last month, we had a marquee in the gardens and our family and friends hired out all of the holiday cottages.
It was the perfect venue, the perfect location and Bill and Diana were extremely welcoming. All of our family and friends thought Upper Court was fantastic, and I recommend it completely. September 2010
